Dear Andy and family,

I only learned today of Gert's death and want to convey my deepest sympathy. You had a wonderful wife and you both were so kind and friendly towards me when I began teaching at The College of Wooster in 1968. I found Gert so cheerful and fun to be with and a great cook, too. I enjoyed your children a lot.

Thank you and Gert so much for being friends.

Dear Mr. Weaver, Rachael, David, Mike and Becky: I am so sorry to see that Mrs. Weaver has passed. I remember all the times Rachael and I would come home late at night from doing what ever we were doing, she was always waiting and then the next morning, had breakfast waiting for us. I loved staying the night and hanging around the Weaver home, because I always felt right at home. She was one of the coolest moms (I thought) from making jewelry to whatever she enjoyed. Iwill only have great memories of her. Sincerely Chris Laughlin.

Dear Andy and family. We are so sad that dear Gert has passed. Jimmy says she was an instant friend, when he began to take her silversmithing classes at the college, and that he really enjoyed her classes and her friendship. She was always very supportive of his leatherwork and asked him about it every time she'd see him.

I was always struck by her calm and giving nature.

We know she was a wonderful person and incredible artist, with her earthy and very classy silver work being so unique and striking. She had a heart of gold. You are a lovely family, and we send you great comfort.

Love, Jimmy Acord and Susan Shie
